Description

At least fifteen women have been kidnapped by a mobster's criminal syndicate. Players are tasked with rescuing the captured women and on the way clean up the streets from the mob boss's henchmen.

Crime Fighters is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up. The game consists of eight levels consisting of locations around an urban landscape such as a subway train, building rooftops, and a waterfront. Players can punch, kick, and jump kick enemies to dispatch them. Also, contrary to the well known idiom, the player is actually encouraged to kick a man when he's down. Occasionally the player will also get their hands on a weapon. Weapons in the game include knives, pipes, and even guns. At the end of each level, the player will face off against a boss, who is stronger than the usual combatants.
